The nerves that extend from the waist to the thighs, legs and toes get compressed where they pass, causing pain syndromes. Lower back diseases are generally called lumbar radiculopathy or lower back leg pain. There are 4 main diseases that cause nerve compression in the waist. These are herniated disc, slipped disc, lumbar calcification and canal stenosis. One or more of these diseases may be present in the same patient at the same time. The pain may be only in the waist, it may extend from the waist to the knee, or it may spread from the waist to the toes. Sometimes, the pain in the lower back disappears and may manifest itself only as leg pain. The spread of pain is usually unilateral, rarely it can spread bilaterally. It may change sides.
Disc diseases may be more common in young and middle-aged patients, and calcifications and canal stenosis along with disc diseases may be more common in middle-aged and older patients. Waist slippage can occur at any age, especially in women. The causes of diseases that cause nerve compression in the waist are diverse. Weight lifting, adverse movements, genetic factors, occupational strains, previous illnesses and surgeries are the most important reasons.
These diseases are very common and very difficult to treat. Even if it is treated successfully, the recurrence rate is quite high.
Treatment includes resting the waist, avoiding strenuous and repetitive activities, exercises to strengthen and stretch the waist muscles, physical therapy and rehabilitation practices. If the axis disorder in the spine continues, special spinal support devices are used to correct this axis. Paravertebral IMS applications are helpful in most patients. Surgical intervention may be performed when necessary.

When the nerve root is compressed by the tissues around it, pain usually spreads to the distribution area of the nerve. Since many spine diseases cause nerve compression, nerve compression can occur at any age, gender, and activity level.
Treatment varies depending on the patient's age, activity level, the disease causing the compression, the severity of the compression, and whether there is nerve damage.
Nerve compression can occur at every level of the spine. Sometimes at one level, sometimes at the same It may be at the highest level. One or more diseases may be shown as the cause of compression.
